yes they were a good group... also walking through them really helps with that as well..... the distillers mix is from an ethanol plant and having a gate keeper is great Especially one that wants to help
i have ..... it doesnt feed out straight ground hay the best but it does.... it really doesnt hold much ground hay.... this wagon is set up more for wetter rations... with different chains and sprockets to adjust the auger speeds it can be made to feed out dry rations better
Excellent video Ted. I very much like how you take you take time to walk and talk to the cattle to observe them to calm them and check for any health issues. They look really well from here. Do you get food nutrition analysis done on your fodder foods at least to compose diets according to cattle size / age / objectives (eg growth rather than finishing target for weight/condition)? Do you load foods in a specific order for some reason into the TMR? Also, how long after finishing loading do you let it mix for? Are you feeding mins and vits as well or are they on free access somewhere in the pen? Are they on tank watering supplies? Once a day feeding?
yes the feed is all tested for nutrition and each pen gets a ration suited for the goal of that pen.. with this mixer we generally put in the more considerate things .... and heavier such as liquid corn and distillers grains first then hay then silage....... by the time the feed is dumped in and we drive to pen the feed is mixed
Thanks.... hope to keep a couple a week or so.... had a bunch of these videos made over the last month or so so just letting them go out every other day right now.... but be up to fresh content soon I sure appreciate people taking the time to comment and watch.... makes it all worth it
we dont feed too much per day so we only get a load at a time... sometimes even only a half load.. the distillers is one thing that you can have alot of shrink on if your not careful
Another good video. Calves look good. Gate keeper looked happy.
thanks.... appreciate you stopping by
Great video not enough tmr information out there keep up the good work

Thanks for bringing us along Ted! I like seeing how others take care of there cattle. Man that app sure makes things easier.
it is very easy to run as well
Very calm calves for just removed from mom. Is the distiller mix from ethanol plant? A gate keeper sure makes feedin' calves/cattle easy. 👍💪🙏

Have you ever filled that mixer wagon with straight dry feed without silage? Curious if it bridges in there. And how many pounds can fit ? Thanks
